"Pre-making" biscuits

I plan to make some buttermilk biscuits in the morning to bring to work to go with some homemade preserves.

Do you think I can cut the butter and shortening into the flour tonight then put everything in the fridge and then in the morning add the buttermilk? I am trying to shorten the prep time (cause I forgot I had an early dentist appointment after committing to bring these in) but don't want to compromise on fluffy goodness. Just afraid I'll lessen the reaction of the baking powder.

A now deceased octogenarian neighbor would make the 'dough' without buttermilk for twelve dozen biscuits, refrigerate it over night, transport it two hours to her daughter's house in another state and bake them there for luncheons.
